I'm looking to replace my case for my PC.

But there are so many different kind of cases out there now.

I have an ASUS A7V600 motherboard w/ an AMD Athlon XP 2700 processor.

Do I get an ATX case ?

Also , do I get a mid-tower ? the current case I have is about

16 inches in hieght.

Forget Mid-Towers. I got one and its a pain in the arse when you gotta do something inside. Get a Full Tower. Sure they're more expensive, but its worth it.
